Original Proceeding 1

ORDER

Sitting: Irene Rios, Justice
Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
H. Todd McCray, Justice

On December 2, 2025, we struck relator’s petition for writ of mandamus because it
contained an unredacted minor’s name in violation of Rule 9.9 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure and Local Rule 4.2. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9; see also 4TH TEX. APP. (San Antonio) LOC.
R. 4.2. We ordered relator to refile a compliant petition and record no later than December 8, 2025.
Relator has not filed a compliant petition and record. The petition for writ of mandamus is
DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO REFILING pursuant to Rule 42.3 because she has
failed to comply with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and an order of this court. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

It is so ORDERED on December 31, 2025.
